Highboy 40 Yarder
40-Yard Dumpster Rental in Los
Angeles — Highboy Roll-Off for Major Projects
Highboy 40 Yarder
Size:
7ft x 8ft x 20ft. Our Largest Available Container. Two Doors Open for Easy Loading
For large construction projects, commercial buildouts, full property cleanouts, and whole-house renovations, the Highboy 40-yarder is the container that handles the job without requiring multiple haul-outs. At 7 feet tall by 8 feet wide by 20 feet long, it’s the largest container in BG’s Big Box Service’s fleet — and the right choice when the volume of debris is too significant for a mid-size roll-off to manage in a single pull. Like the Lowboy, it features two rear doors that swing fully open for walk-in loading, making it practical for bulky furniture, large sections of roofing material, and commercial debris arriving in volume.
BG’s Big Box Service has been delivering 40-yard containers to job sites across Los Angeles and the San Fernando Valley since 1981. Whether you’re a general contractor managing a large residential renovation in Calabasas, a commercial contractor clearing a retail space in Pasadena, or a property owner in Malibu handling a full estate cleanout, we’ve handled every version of this job across more than four decades of operation.
What the Highboy 40-Yarder Is Built For
The 40-yarder earns its place on jobs where the sheer volume of debris makes anything smaller impractical. Large construction projects that generate sustained daily output, commercial buildouts where multiple trades produce waste simultaneously, multi-room renovations in larger homes, and full property cleanouts where years of accumulated material must go at once are all natural fits. The larger footprint and higher sidewall mean it requires more space for placement than the Lowboy — typically a standard two-car driveway or a comparable area, but for jobs at this scale, that’s rarely a limitation.
- Whole-house and major residential renovation
- Commercial construction and tenant improvement buildouts
- Large roofing projects on commercial buildings or estates
- Full property and estate cleanouts
- Multi-unit residential renovation and demolition
- Retail, office, and warehouse cleanouts
- Large-scale landscaping and exterior demolition
Dimensions and Capacity
The Highboy 40-yarder measures 7ft tall x 8ft wide x 20ft long, holding approximately 40 cubic yards of material. To put that in perspective: a standard full-size pickup truck holds roughly 2–3 cubic yards, meaning the 40-yarder replaces more than a dozen truckloads. For large renovation projects in Granada Hills, Porter Ranch, Northridge, or Chatsworth — where multiple trades work simultaneously, and debris accumulates quickly — the capacity ensures the container stays on site and productive, rather than requiring repeated swap-outs that disrupt the work schedule. The two-door rear loading system keeps the process efficient regardless of the material type.
Serving Large Projects Across LA County
We deliver 40-yard containers for large residential, commercial, and contractor projects throughout Los Angeles and Ventura Counties. Whole-house renovation projects in Beverly Hills, Malibu, and Calabasas are a regular part of our schedule, as are commercial jobs in Culver City, West Hollywood, Glendale, and Burbank. We deliver to active construction sites in the San Fernando Valley — Northridge, Reseda, Woodland Hills, Canoga Park, Chatsworth — as well as to communities in the eastern Valley and along the I-210 corridor, including Pasadena, La Canada, and La Crescenta. For projects with a mix of heavy and light materials, the Highboy pairs well with a dedicated 10-yard heavy-debris container for the concrete and soil portions of the job.
Placement and Site Logistics
Given its size, the Highboy 40-yarder requires careful placement planning before delivery. Our team will confirm access requirements when you call — driveway clearance, overhead obstructions, proximity to the work area, and any local permitting requirements that may apply in your city. Most municipalities in LA County don’t require permits for containers placed entirely on private property, but containers placed in the public right-of-way or on the street often do. We can advise on what to expect for your specific location and zip code before we schedule delivery.

Highboy 40-Yard Dumpster FAQs
What is a highboy 40-yard dumpster used for?
The highboy 40-yard is BGS’s largest container and is built for major construction projects, large-scale commercial cleanouts, roofing jobs, and full property demolitions. If you’re clearing out a warehouse in the San Fernando Valley, managing a multi-unit renovation in LA County, or running a large roofing crew through Chatsworth or Simi Valley, this is the unit that handles the volume.
What can I put in a highboy 40-yard dumpster?
General construction and demolition debris, roofing shingles, lumber, drywall, insulation, furniture, flooring, packaging, and mixed renovation waste are all appropriate. The highboy is designed for light-to-medium-density, high-volume materials. It is not suited for heavy materials like concrete, dirt, or asphalt — those belong in a lowboy unit.
What are the dimensions of a 40-yard highboy dumpster?
A standard 40-yard highboy measures approximately 22 feet long by 8 feet wide by 8 feet tall. The taller walls allow for large volumes of light and bulky material. Confirm the exact dimensions with BGS at booking, particularly if your site has overhead clearance restrictions due to trees, power lines, or parking structures.
How long is the standard rental period for a 40-yard dumpster?
Most commercial and construction customers rent a 40-yard highboy for one to two weeks, though rental periods are flexible depending on project scope. Extended rentals are available for longer builds. BGS serves job sites throughout LA County and the San Fernando Valley — scheduling pickup around your project milestones is part of the service.
Do I need a permit for a 40-yard dumpster in LA County?
For a container this size, placement almost always needs to be on private property or a designated staging area on the job site. Street placement of a 40-yard unit in LA County will typically require permits from the city or county public works department. Factor in permit lead time when planning your project start date — BGS can advise on what’s typically required in your municipality.
